From the greenhouses in the open fields where the delicate floral petals develop into a flowerful delight, to the far-flung destinations across the world where their beauty and fragrance delight, Kenyan flowers are truly a gift to witness.
And this is a sentiment that Thursd wholeheartedly shares; the notion that Kenya is among the most unique, fascinating, and rich floral destinations anywhere in the world, with its wide array of flowers. What’s more, the country is blessed with, perhaps, the most conducive weather conditions for flower cultivation, and the employees of the flower farms — from the farm workers to the managers — are among the most skilled and hardworking.
